Get High Cholesterol, Win a 360!

[chronobreak]

Your title is misleading. You can eat McDonalds food and maintain a healthy lifestyle, and not have to suffer from health problems, if you take care of yourself and work out. It is of course not preferrable, but just fine in moderation. I don't know what you want us to discuss, really. Yes, a 360 is one of the prizes they are giving away for being patrons of their establishment. And what?

I think i would just buy an elite instead of almost killing myself for the arcade version.

It's a common misconception that food from McDonalds or fast food in general makes you fat. Of course it can, if you eat too much of it, just like every other type of food. A BigMac actually is pretty healthy and doesn't contain more calories than your average dinner with meat.

It might not contain any more calories,but it also contains far less nutrients.

Honestly, this is probably for people who are doing the monopoly thing anyway, their health was already fucked.

The thing is, it doesn't contain almost any vital substances, just gives you some energy.
By vital substances i of course mean those you get from real food, those not present in a big mac. The calorie part may be right, but that's all a big mac contains. your average dinner with meat is better for you by a mile.

Incorrect. Hamburgers are a great source of protein, calcium, and iron. They're also a quite balanced meal, especially if they contain cheese. Of course you shouldn't entirely limit your dinner to hamburgers, or any other kind of food for that matter. Variety is still important, but there's nothing wrong with having a BigMac once in a while.

Please don't let movies like 'Super Size Me' or the idea that all big companies are evil and want to kill you limit your views but instead look at objective and scientific research.

Fast food places have been doing the 'buy a large, jumbo or super jumbo size' and enter in a chance to win since at least the mid 80's.

I remember distinctly when I was very little that Coke was having some kind of 'under the cap' contest. Nowadays it's a number you have to put online, which helps them track sales. Not to long ago it said "please try again" or "not a winner: play again"

I remember when I was a little 5 Year old Thor in the mid 80's and I sat down on the curb to enjoy my 'new coke' in it's weirdly egg shaped bottle. I popped the bottle cap and on the bottom was printed "You're a Loser!" or "You lose!" and then taking a swig and being very disappointed by the terrible taste.

That was real nice coke call a 5 year old a loser and than give him nasty soda pop. This is why I drink Dr. Pepper still.
